Cook's Tips:

You can use leftover mac and cheese to make these bites! Just warm it up and start at step 3.

Want to prep some bites ahead? After step 4, store the bites in an airtight container or bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to make them, pick up at step 5—you don’t need to thaw them first!
